Scam Description
Was messaged by a guy named Paul Thomas on Facebook about purchasing some bourbon. Was told I could get two bottles of Elmer T for $101 which included shipping. Told me to send payment through cash app, PayPal, Zella and Venmo. I only had Venmo so he said to send to @tyactup TeriqueMoore but it wouldn’t let me make payment. Gave me two references on Facebook, Gelfand Oliver and Rodger Everson. Got a hold of Gelfand Oliver and he said that he was good to go. I sent money through PayPal to pocolee6768@gmail.com but didn’t work and told me to cancel. Went by Poco Lee. I tried again and payment went through but then the other payment went through as well. He told me that he would FedEx the next day but then came back saying I needed to ship a min. of 6 bottles. Wanted me to send more money. Also went by pierrodelfosse3@gmail.com Delfosse Pierro, loewensteinhillary@gmail.com, Lowenstein Hilary Kreger. He told me that I would thank him at the end. No risk no reward and about trust and he was giving me a 100% guaranteed.
